Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biodegradable materials, and in particular to a method for preparing modified PBAT by step-by-step regulation. Background Art

[0002] Polybutylene adipate / terephthalate (PBAT) is a new type of thermoplastic aliphatic-aromatic copolyester biodegradable plastic. Due to its good ductility, elongation at break, heat resistance and impact resistance, it is widely used in plastic packaging, agricultural mulch, sanitary products and biomedicine. Based on the current situation of my country's rich coal, poor oil and little gas resources, efficient use of coal chemical downstream products to produce terephthalic acid (TPA), adipic acid (AA) and 1,4-butanediol (BDO), the raw materials for synthesizing biodegradable polyester PBAT, reduces dependence on petroleum resources and provides an important way for the high-quality utilization of coal chemical downstream products.

[0003] In the current reports on PBAT synthesis, for the sake of simplicity, many one-pot copolymerization reactions are used to generate PBAT polymers. However, during the one-pot reaction, the ratio of terephthalic acid, adipic acid and 1,4-butanediol is difficult to control, and the segment structure will deviate from the designed value. Especially when the material is modified to improve its performance, it is more inconvenient to control the structure of the molecular segment. Based on this, the present invention designs a step-by-step control method for preparing modified PBAT. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and to propose a method for preparing modified PBAT by step-by-step regulation.

[0005] A method for preparing modified PBAT by step-by-step regulation comprises the following steps:

[0006] Weigh terephthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol in a molar ratio (1:1 to 1:2.5), put them into reaction container a, add appropriate amounts of catalysts tetrabutyl titanate and triphenyl phosphate and stir evenly for 0 to 24 hours. Reaction container a is evacuated, filled with nitrogen or argon, and the inert gas is replaced 3 times, and then continuously evacuated to maintain the vacuum pressure at -0.02 to -0.06MPa. Reaction container a is heated and heated to 150 to 180°C in the first stage reaction, stirred for 1 to 2 hours, and the second stage reaction continues to heat to 220 to 250°C, stirred for 1 to 10 hours to obtain prepolymer A. Among them, tetrabutyl titanate is 0.1‰ to 10‰ of the total mass of terephthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol. Among them, triphenyl phosphate is 0.1‰ to 10‰ of the total mass of terephthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol.

[0007] Weigh adipic acid and 1,4-butanediol in a molar ratio (1:1-1:2), put them into the reaction vessel b, add appropriate amounts of catalysts tetrabutyl titanate and triphenyl phosphate and stir evenly for 0-24 hours. The reaction vessel b is evacuated, filled with nitrogen or argon, and the inert gas is replaced 3 times, and then continuously evacuated to maintain the vacuum pressure at -0.02-0.06MPa. The reaction vessel b is heated and heated to 150-180°C in the first stage reaction, stirred for 1-2 hours, and the second stage reaction continues to heat to 210-230°C, stirred for 1-10 hours to obtain prepolymer B. Among them, tetrabutyl titanate is 0.1‰-10‰ of the total mass of the adipic acid and 1,4-butanediol. Among them, triphenyl phosphate is 0.1‰-10‰ of the total mass of the terephthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol.

[0008] Weigh lactic acid and isosorbide in a molar ratio (1:1-2:1), put them into reaction vessel c, add an appropriate amount of catalyst zinc acetate and stir evenly for 0-24 hours. Reaction vessel c is evacuated, filled with nitrogen or argon, and replaced with inert gas 3 times, and then continuously evacuated to maintain the vacuum pressure at -0.02-0.06MPa. Reaction vessel c is heated and heated to 100-120°C in the first stage reaction, stirred for 1-2 hours, and continued to heat to 145-165°C in the second stage reaction, stirred for 1-10 hours to obtain prepolymer C. Wherein zinc acetate is 1‰-5‰ of the total mass of lactic acid and isosorbide.

[0009] Tetrabutyl titanate, zinc acetate, sodium bicarbonate, phosphoric acid and ethyl orthosilicate were added to anhydrous ethanol for full hydrolysis, cooled and filtered to obtain catalyst D.

[0010] Add prepolymers A, B, and C into the reaction vessel d, add the prepared catalyst D, replace the inert gas 3 times, and then continue to evacuate to keep the vacuum pressure below 50 Pa. Heat to 210-260°C and stir for 4-10 hours, cool and output, and a new type of biodegradable material can be obtained.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of the present invention are: the present invention starts from improving the material performance, performs step-by-step synthesis, the material segment structure is controllably adjustable, and the obtained material has the characteristics of high tensile strength and good toughness.
